So were doing a staycation this week much cheaper than a vacation! and I got my own bed to sleep in.

Today we went to the Dallas Museum of Art... as we were looking at triptych of Paul's conversion my dd2 asks Mom who painted this painting?
Mom looks over at Tag.. himm Benjamin West painted this painting...
DD2 MOM MOM (overtly loud in quiet museum) This is Benjamin Wests' painting!!! Mom is so good. Mom are there more...
Hubby: Who is Benjamin West?
DD2 spends the next 5 min telling Daddy all about the boy who skipped school to paint with colors he made from juice.
Meanwhile the guard has moved closer, is smiling and listening intently.

And yes we found another Benny West painting.

I LOVE those moments!!!

That is such a great story! We loved Benjamin West at our house too, what a neat opportunity

What an awesome story! We love Benjamin West too. My kids ask to paint everytime we eat fruit after reading about him.

What a neat moment!! I am jealous of your opportunities! We googled his paintings, one day, we might see them in person!

We are enjoying the story very very much!

How neat! I can't wait to have moments like this with my kiddo!

How neat! That is just what we want, isn't it? Learning in school to just become a natural part of learning in life. Your dd burst forth into an oral narration there too - another goal met. What a great day!

In Christ,
Julie

Tansy,

I laughed outright at the picture your sharing painted in MY mind! What a great moment!

Blessings,
